New Online Applications Allow Agencies to Collect Opinion and Comment

A federal working group with limited staff and funds is partnering with a technology company to enable millions of Americans to voice their opinions on health care reform.

To accomplish their mandate under the Medicare Modernization Act (MPDIMA), the Citizens’ Health Care Working Group has enlisted Neighborhood America’s online Public Comment Service to let nearly 300 million Americans “have a say” in reforming health care. The Public Comment Service collects citizen opinions and experiences online, augmenting the traditional town hall meetings being held by the working group in 30 cities nationwide.

“Given the breadth of what Congress has charged us with doing, it is absolutely imperative that we rely on the power of the Web to maximize our outreach to American citizens and listen to what they have to say,” says Andy Rock, a senior staff analyst assigned to the Citizens’ Health Care Working Group. “The public comment we collect over the [three-month period] will provide a valuable foundation from which the Working Group will base its final recommendations.”

To view the Working Group’s online Public Comment Center, visit: www.govinfo.bz/5960-289.
